A new pilot program, FlexRide Milwaukee, is hoping to bridge the transportation gap between employees and their workplaces. FlexRide Milwaukee is a transportation service that offers rides to individuals who work for employers located within Menomonee Falls and Butler. It launched in early February.
FlexRide Milwaukee is a smartphone app. Individuals interested in FlexRide must register to use the app. Once they’re approved, they will receive an access code.
The app is available to download on the App Store or Google Play Store. Individuals can download the app and create an account. To order a ride, the user must enter the pickup and drop-off locations and the app will handle the rest.
If a user does not have a smartphone, they can dial 414-667-7433 to request a ride.
Rides are available from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday. Individuals can request a ride from one of the five stops: Sherman Phoenix, 3536 W. Fond du Lac Ave.; Midtown Center, 5700 W. Capitol Drive; Silver Spring Neighborhood Center, 5460 N. 64th St.; and Silver Spring Drive/Lovers Lane and Woodman’s/Sam’s Club, Highway 145.
Rides to and from Woodman/Sam’s Club and Silver Spring/Lovers Lane stops are currently free. Other stops cost $1.50 for a one-way ride. This price will eventually increase to $3.
